OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Comment by Kim of Virginia on December 13, 2010 at 6:35pm: Hello everyone, I received 2 letters today, one said they will go through the gas chamber 12/15 and Battle Station 12/17. My son said they are extremely busy this week and their schedules are packed tightly.

Comment by Sparkle_Mary on December 13, 2010 at 3:56pm: Got my ribbons! So beautiful! 8 days!.. so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!! Next week ladies and gents!

Comment by sweetgen91 on December 13, 2010 at 2:36pm: Oh I thought it was only me hehe. Hopefully by this week we'll get the confirmation. :)

Comment by maggie (ship03 Div.027) on December 13, 2010 at 2:34pm: I just printed the gate pass. So excited. I have not received a confirmation either. However, I did fax and e-mail paperwork a couple times. I think the scheduling office just has a lot of e-mails to go through.

Comment by sweetgen91 on December 13, 2010 at 2:00pm: I think I will do that. I also faxed it. I'm kind of worried.

:(

Comment by Niña on December 13, 2010 at 2:00pm: i just booked my flight today to Great Lakes and just printed out the Gate Pass.

it feels so amazing to know, that we are actually only 8 days away from PIR.

feelings are already unexplainable when I saw their PIR dates posted on the NRTC website..and can actually print out the pass. i've been waiting for this time around to happen for the longest time i could remember. :))))))

have an amazing day everyone :)
